I had to do a brief intro to races in middle earth for school, this is what i got [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]minus the main races, like elves,men, hobbits)
Balrogs: Maiar spirits who served Melkor, the Dark Enemy
Eagles:
Noblest of the winged creatures of Arda
-brought forth by Manwë,Yavanna, messengers of Manwe
Nazgul: (are they actually a race?)
-once powerful kings and sorcerers among Men
-each given a Ring of Power by Sauron
-became wraiths entirely by the 23rd century, and thralls that sought only to serve Sauron
Barrow-wights:
Many tortured spirits fled from the Witch-kingdom of Angmar to seek shelter from the light of the Sun; demons who had become disembodied looking for other bodies in which their evil spirits could dwell. And so it was the Barrow-wights came into being, who animated the bones and jewelled armour of the ancient Kings of Men.

Does anyone have info about the winged beasts the Nazgul ride?
this is all i found:
Winged Beasts Which Elves and Men had no name. They were ancient beasts that had come into the World before the Count of Time. [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img]
